Are you looking for a specific number or book? Maybe you have a book someone is looking for... post it here! If you'd like to advertize your own ebay listings here as well that would be fine, just don't spam the boards.

I had to post this as I have read some of you guys complaining about people listing books astronomically that will never sell or their condition of the listing is laughable.

Being a collector, I know King's signature is one of the highest as an author ranging from 200-250. And the value of the book depending upon it's grade from as new to a turd. I would like your voice from this listing on e bay. The item number is 271430310738.

Yeah, I saw this too. It's quite ridiculous in my opinion. I think the reason there are all those watchers is simply because they are curious as to whether it will actually sell. Not so much that they have any interest in bidding or buying.

When I first saw it, I thought it was a major King collection like all of the 1sts and all of the limiteds, etc... something like that for that kind of price. But what are we talking about here, 6 signed books with a signed card? It looks like the seller doesn't have a concept for what King books are worth to collectors. The Buy it Now price is definitely worth a snicker... $100K? Anyway, interesting...

It has 10 watchers which blows my mind. And a polite value in my opinion is 1600.00. Thoughts???

I am one of the watchers.
Three days ago my wife and I looked this listing in shock and awe. We emailed him and gently told him it was a crazy price, maybe worth $2000 max. He didn't reply. Hummm...have I got some books to sell him...LOL.

I actually emailed them politely as well and told them in detail the same thing. I added it to my watch list as well. Also, I've seen other books in great shape listed high as well. For example, some guy in China has a "Shining" signed for 9999.99 or best offer. Sure I'd love the book, but even if I was rich and impulsively shopping for rare books, I would still be looking to buy for fair value (signed 600-900) so I can buy others missing in my collection .

I've seen some stupid prices on Ebay before but this tops them all, and like zkingcollector and Truenorth said the now 12 watchers will just be wondering if it sells, (if it does wow!) and with a zero feedback seller it's not like your handing over $1, at least he's offering free shipping!

I did the same, politely stated that no King collector would pay that price, got no reply!
that Shining in China has been on Ebay for a long time, why do some people think they're going to get these stupid asking prices
